Hurston had a way of delving into human emotions and the ways of the heart. This book is a sterling example.
Best Book

I am a huge fan of Toni Morrison,in particular Song of Soloman, but after having read Seraph on the Suwanee, I have a new favorite author in Zora Neale Hurston and a new favorite book.
Outstanding!

This is my all time favorite novel. Although I already have several copies of this book, I'm buying another copy today.
Splendid

Zora Neale Hurston never fails. SERAPH ON THE SUWANEE, Hurston's lengthiest novel, portrays the lives of Arvay and Jim--a couple who love each other very much, but never seem able to communicate with each other. And Hurston's background as an anthropologist proves helpful again because this novel features some very interesting and detailed accounts of the lives of the white "Florida Crackers." Fans of Hurston won't be disappointed with SERAPH.
Another good novel by Ms. Hurston.

At first I thought I would not like this book but the further I read, the more I began to like it. It was a different level of reading knowing that an African-American author had written this novel with main characters who were white people, other than the reverse. This book was very well-written. I have enjoyed all of Ms. Hurston's books that I've read and will always consider her the #1 pioneer African-American female author.
